Comment:

 >essentially disabled RC4, meaning that instead of
 TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA, the server picks TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA.
 There appears to be a bug in the server's implementation or use of that
 cipher suite, because I can reproduce the bad MAC error using curl
 compiled with openssl
